City Of Dragons

MadnessArt

I finished this scene as my main environment for my portfolio for graduation. I started this scene with the intention of having this as an environment for a strategy game.

Most of the assets in the games are in the range of 100 to 1000tris, with the exception of the main body of the dragon statue and the body of the island.

I want to make as low as possible without sacrificing the quality.

Any feedback or comments are welcome

cool I like the big floating one almost seems like an aircraft carrier

Wow! This is a very enjoyable piece, especially for being lower poly. I like the flow of the land itself, with the waterfalls and caverns. The color palette is pretty nice. I like the earthy feel to it with subtle blues. It would be cool to see wire frames if you have them as well as some screen shots of some of the props. Well done.

I love it man, very original. It's kinda hard to gauge the scale of it right now, seems like it would be a bit small for a colony of dragons. But great work nonetheless!

Thanks, guys for the positive comments.
Kincade, here is one of the props that I handpainted. It is more like a government building for the leaders of the dragon riders to meet and use.


NyneDown, to answer your question, my original idea is to have the main island as the center of the colony, and there are surrounding cliffs and floating islands that served as residential colonies and breeding grounds for dragons.

But halfway through the project, I realized the scale of the entire scene and decided to cut down everything down to just the main island.

Hopefully, after graduation, I have more free time to extend on my ideas.

Oops, my bad.
Here are the images again for the environment with image tags.
Thanks for the reminder, Ged

This looks really good

Thanks for the props page. Helps to know, because its hard to see those props from the full shots. The hand painting turned out very well. The normals could be bumped up a tad bit, in my opinion. But all in all turned out good. I hope you do decide to continue this project later on. It is a good concept and with some time could become a very successful level.

The big floating landmass/fortress thing is all win;) very nice:) keep it up.

This is all very good, I'd like to see the flat cliff face areas mountainous and jagged rather than sedimentary or that layered look. I think it could have been used to direct the eye around more. It still looks great, your texture work is very sharp and clean.

this is nice, id like to add to KPs crit that a lighter yellower tone for the horizontal and floor areas would help the design alot

Very beautiful work do you think we could get a shot of the building with the statues on the sides of it and the giant tower/columns?

The waterfall and dangling roots are great touches!
